- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Jan 2024)
Victor Boyhan: I join in sending my sympathies to John Connor’s family. I knew John Connor well and I engaged with him on many occasions. One of the abiding memories I have of him is his great skill as an orator. He could make his words come alive in this Chamber and in the Dáil. It is a skill not too many politicians have but he had in buckets and abundance. He was passionate about rural...

Victor Boyhan: I wish to keep the focus on these local authorities. There are 17 local authorities in question but Mr. Rowe has not explained to this committee, to any great extent, what that level of engagement was. Did Waterways Ireland engage actively with all 17? I get a sense it did not. Mr. Rowe mentioned counties Offaly and Tipperary and approximately four local authorities but perhaps he can...
